The Grate Foot is an OEM part for Whirlpool gas ranges. It attaches to the bottom of the cooktop grates, providing stability and preventing the grates from scratching the cooktop surface.
Common causes of a faulty grate foot include constant exposure to high temperatures, wear from frequent removal and cleaning of the grates, or physical damage from accidental impacts.
Symptoms of a bad grate foot include:
- The grates wobbling or not sitting level on the cooktop
- Scratches or damage appearing on the cooktop surface
- The grates making noise or shifting during use
- Visible wear, cracking, or missing pieces on the grate foot
This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.
